Wireless charging
The dogs and kids got me a Huawei wireless car charger for Father's Day, so I spent some time on the weekend fitting it to the car. Luckily I already had a reasonably decent clamp fitted to the centre console, but I needed to use epoxy and some double sided tape to mate the car charger to the mount. Of course, there was some cable routing too; the Huawei wireless charger is a high-speed charger, so it has its own power socket charger, and I still needed to provide power to the dashcam, so I ran cables under the edge of the console, where they're not visible; the wireless charger went to the socket in the rear. My car has three charger sockets inside the car, plus a 240V power socket, which is handy.
Here's the result:
The Huawei charger has motorised arms. If I put my phone in front of it, the arms open up, and clasp the phone. If I touch a spot on the left of the charge, the arms open up. Very convenient. Charging is fast, as expected, and works even through the protective skin on the phone. The phone is in a good spot to be able to browse twitter or view the maps on Waze while driving.
